Selling your house, made simple
A 37-second look at what selling to a local cash buyer is like.
Real houses, real sellers
Another buyer had the house under contract and couldn't close. Once the seller was out of that contract, we bought it as-is. It needed a full refresh and a second bathroom.
“Of the 7 or so other companies I contacted, he was the only one that was consistent with his services and price.”

Five sisters inherited a house that was already in foreclosure. We got all five to agree and closed on the day of the auction. It needed a roof, water-damage repairs and a full refresh.
“My sisters and I couldn't be more grateful for his patience and dedication.”

The seller was stuck in a wholesaler's contract. We got her out of it and closed so she could move. The house needed structural repairs.

Sell your home on your own time & at your own pace.
A house we bought in Portsmouth. The seller had signed with a wholesaler who could not close. We got the seller out of that contract and closed in October 2026. The house needed a full refresh and a second bathroom added. The seller wrote: “of the 7 or so other companies I contacted, he was the only one that was consistent with his services and price.” Craig Jones, Google review.
Older homes. Houses in Olde Towne, Cradock, Park View and Port Norfolk often turn up old wiring, lead paint and original plumbing, and a buyer with an FHA or VA loan usually has to get those fixed before closing. We buy them as they stand.
Flood zones. Much of Portsmouth carries flood risk, and a high flood insurance quote is a common reason financed sales fall apart late. We pay cash, so no lender is waiting on a policy.
Any house, any situation
The Portsmouth market
Since 2020 we have been making no-obligation cash offers to sellers all over Portsmouth on houses in as-is condition. No repairs, no cleaning and no staging on your end.
We are local investors here in Portsmouth, so we know what houses actually sell for and what the work actually costs. That is how we can hand you a real number instead of a range. Our process keeps you out of realtor commissions, listing fees and repair bills. Call us or send us the address and we will take it from there.
Portsmouth is the most affordable city in Hampton Roads and one of the fastest moving. As of August 2026:
Selling above asking is more common here than in Virginia Beach or Norfolk. Buyers priced out elsewhere are competing for a smaller pool of houses. Source: Redfin, August 2026.
Very competitive. Redfin scores Portsmouth 75 out of 100, and 45% of homes sell above asking – the highest share of any city in the region.
The reason is arithmetic. A median of $292,800 against $431,000 in Virginia Beach and $335,000 in Norfolk makes Portsmouth the entry point for first-time buyers, investors and anyone cashing out of a pricier city. Demand is strong for anything in good condition.
Houses that need work still sit, because most of those buyers are financed and stretched.
Portsmouth’s housing stock is old. In Olde Towne it is very old, which brings lead paint, knob-and-tube wiring and original plumbing into nearly every inspection.
Two forces dominate. The Norfolk Naval Shipyard, which despite the name sits in Portsmouth, is one of the largest employers in Hampton Roads and moves people in and out on its own schedule. And affordability draws buyers priced out of Virginia Beach and Chesapeake.
That second group is why 45% of Portsmouth homes now sell above asking. Buyers arriving from a more expensive city do not find $292,800 expensive.
April through July, as across the region: families moving between school years and summer military transfers.
Portsmouth has a smaller seasonal swing than the beach cities because its buyers are driven by price rather than lifestyle. A well-priced house in Churchland will find a buyer in February.
Winter still means fewer buyers and longer timelines, and hurricane season can stall contracts on low-lying property while insurers reinspect.
The median sale price was about $292,800 in August 2026, with homes selling at 100.3% of asking.
Portsmouth has the widest condition spread in the region. A restored Olde Towne home and a tired ranch a mile away are barely the same market.
At 92% of properties facing severe flood risk, this is the question that decides most Portsmouth sales.
Virginia requires written disclosure of a history of repetitive flood loss before settlement. A financed buyer in an AE zone must carry flood insurance, and a high premium quote is a common reason deals die late.
An elevation certificate from a licensed surveyor determines that rate, and having one in hand before listing removes the biggest unknown in the transaction. We buy in flood zones for cash, so no lender is waiting on a policy and no premium quote can end the sale.
Olde Towne is the reason people love Portsmouth and the reason some sales fall apart.
Homes of that age commonly turn up lead paint, knob-and-tube wiring, original plumbing and undersized electrical panels. An FHA or VA buyer’s appraiser will flag several of those, and the repairs must often be done before closing rather than after.
And it is not only Olde Towne. Portsmouth’s Historic Preservation Commission reviews changes to historic structures in Cradock, Olde Towne, Park View, Port Norfolk and Truxtun, which slows down any buyer planning to renovate before reselling.
We buy these houses as they stand, wiring and all. You are not responsible for bringing a 1890s house up to a 2026 lender’s standard.
The offer is free, there is no obligation, and you hear back within 24 hours.
Questions
We are one local company, not a lead broker. A lot of the “we buy houses Portsmouth” ads you see are national sites that collect your address and sell it to whoever pays for it, which is why your phone rings for a week afterward. We walk the house ourselves, we write the offer ourselves, and we do not pass your information around.
The other difference is that our number does not move. We do not send an inspector back out afterward to talk the price down. What is on the purchase agreement is what you get at closing.
Yes, and here is how we get there so you can check our math. We work out what the house is worth once the work is done, using recent sales of similar homes near you. Then we subtract what the work will cost and what we need to make on the resale. What is left is your offer, and it usually lands between 70% and 80% of the finished value.
That will be less than a fixed-up house gets on the open market, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What you get instead is no repairs, no commissions, no fees, all closing costs paid, a date you choose, and a price that does not change between the contract and closing.
When you sell your house to Coastline Homebuyers in Portsmouth, you can skip the traditional marketing process altogether. Instead of spending time and money on advertising, showings, and open houses, simply reach out to us with details about your property. We’ll conduct a quick assessment and make you a fair cash offer, allowing you to sell your house fast and without the hassle of traditional marketing methods.
Most are, and some are not. A good one gives you a written offer, answers your questions, and leaves you alone if you say no. The ones to watch out for get you under contract and then try to drop the price before closing, or sell your address to a dozen other buyers so your phone rings for a week.
We have been buying houses here since 2020. You can read our reviews on Google, and we are accredited with the Better Business Bureau. Ask us anything you want before you sign a thing.
Coastline Homebuyers specializes in expediting the home selling process. While traditional sales can take months, we can often close on properties in as little as 10 to 14 days, providing homeowners with a fast and hassle-free solution. If you need to sell your house quickly, reach out to us for a cash offer and swift closing.
No. We walk the house before we make the offer, so the price we offer is the price at closing. Our earnest money backs that up. If we ever fail to close on the terms in our contract, you keep the deposit. That has never happened.
Most of the houses we buy, we buy for cash. If a cash sale does not fit your situation, we can also buy on terms. Ask us on the call and we will walk you through your options.
Three steps, and we do most of the work. Here is how it goes.
Tell us a little about the house. We will call you to set up a time to come walk it, usually within a day.
After we walk the house, we send you a fair cash offer within 24 hours. No obligation.
If you accept our offer, we'll then work with you to close on your schedule.
Selling your Portsmouth house should not mean months of waiting, strangers walking through your living room, or thousands of dollars in commissions. We walk the house, we write the offer, and the number does not change afterward. That is why sellers keep leaving 5-star reviews on Google and Facebook, and why we keep our accreditation with the Better Business Bureau.
Selling a house is stressful enough without a runaround. We keep it short: tell us about the house, we set a time to walk it, and you get a cash offer within 24 hours. The owner and his acquisitions manager handle every call and appointment themselves, so you deal with the people actually buying the house. The number we give you is the number at closing. If we ever fail to close on the terms in our contract, you keep our earnest money deposit.
Every house and every situation is different, so we work the offer out around yours rather than running you through a script. And if your house is in good shape and would do better listed with an agent, we will tell you so on the walkthrough. We have done it plenty of times.
